Homemade Laundry Detergent

Lately, I've heard a lot of moms talking about homemade laundry detergent. I know that I have also been interested in how to make it so I thought I would find some recipes online that might be helpful.

The Simple Dollar gives a detailed tutorial with pictures including the itemized cost of ingredients for liquid detergent.

The Duggar Family has a recipe for both liquid and powder detergent plus a few tips and a fabric softener recipe.

If you make your own laundry detergent, please share your experiences and recipe with the rest of us.
